research: how is the lizard able to do this and what other creatures can do it to?
Here is an example of surface tension caught on film: swimming surface tension now you need to collect or create 5 more examples to share with the class
12/19/12 Topic:ATOMS AND ATOMIC THEORY
Standards: 9.2.1.1.1 Describe the relative charges, masses, and locations of the protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom of an element. 9.2.1.1.2 Describe how experimental evidence led Dalton, Rutherford, Thompson, Chadwick and Bohr to develop increasingly accurate models of the atom.
AGS Ch 14The Atom- read each section and do the end of section check and apply A Short History of Nearly Everything p133-135 Listen as the teacher reads the passage to you and create an illustration of what you hear. The Story of Science Pages 278 – 287 A chapter on the work of Dalton Summarize the reading in 1 paragraph and write 5 questions about the reading for future reader Bill Nye the Science Guy: Atoms View the video and complete 4 comments for each of the following: I saw, I heard, I learned, I knew and it was confirmed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ez0Poi1YJS0
Unit Summary: Explain how the atomic model has changed over time. Describe the size, durability and amount of atoms surrounding us.
OPTIONAL: Kahn Academy Intro to the Atom View the video and complete 4 comments for each of the following: I saw, I heard, I learned, I knew and it was confirmed
and complete the tasks embedded In the presentation (venn diagram) (table) (Table) Complete the worksheet (this is not a test, it was once a test and is now a worksheet)
view examples of your element in comic books Chem Comics
create an element superhero for your element (draw your own or generate one at hero machine 2.5)
share your element superhero's "story of power" with the class
Homework: complete element project Read one of the stories provided by the teacher (of Avagadro or Mendelev (from the story of science)) summarize the reading and write 3 questions for further research
Credit Recovery Course
This course is designed for the student who has already been exposed to the concepts and needs some additional help or practice to meet the standards.
We meet once per week for 2 hours. You will complete 4 hours of homework each week in addition to class.
